APPLIED BIOCHEMISTS Aquashade Plus 50 oz – EPA-Approved Pond Colorant for Algae & Weed Suppression | Eco-Friendly, Non-Toxic

Overview

APPLIED BIOCHEMISTS Aquashade Plus is a concentrated pond colorant designed to help limit light reaching underwater weeds and algae. This EPA-approved blue dye is suitable for natural and manmade ponds, lakes, and natural pools with little outflow, offering a practical option for ongoing water body maintenance.

Why this matters

In real-world settings, clearer water can improve visual appeal and support a more balanced aquatic environment. Aquashade Plus is 2.4 times more concentrated than the original formulation, enabling fewer applications while delivering lasting color and coverage. The formulation uses Acid Blue 9 and Acid Yellow 23 to achieve its distinct blue tint while staying aligned with approved use guidelines.

• Inhibits underwater weed and algae growth, contributing to a cleaner, clearer pond
• 2.4x more concentrated than the prior Aquashade formulation for extended intervals between doses
• Long-lasting results that can span weeks with proper application
• Best suited for natural or manmade lakes and ponds with little outflow

How to use

Pour Aquashade Plus directly into the water. For optimal results, apply early in the season before weed and algae germination. After treatment, wait 1 hour before using the water for swimming, irrigation, or livestock consumption. Do not use treated water for human drinking water.

• Pour directly into water for quick activation
• Apply early in the season prior to germination
